Paul, about the double redirection: I don't think you can use the catalog like that because the the URI resolver does a single pass through the catalog. If I understand correctly, to do what your proposing it would have to recurse: first locate the namespace -> remote location, then call itself again to resolve the remote location to local location.

A lot of this terminology is a carry over from the DTD. In DTD there are two types of entries: System - which is a private local version of the grammar. Public - an externally referenced grammar. System Identifier - (think of this as where the item can be found, it could be a url.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_identifier An example of a System Identifier is: |<!DOCTYPE html SYSTEM "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> |Where the items in between the quotes is the System Identifier. http://xmlwriter.net/xml_guide/doctype_declaration.shtml An XML.com article has a pretty go description of this: The SYSTEM identifier tells the XML parser where to find the DTD file on the system. An optional PUBLIC identifier can specify another string for the parser to use when locating a DTD file. These usually use a string similar to the following, which avoids any system-specific information to make the document more portable across different systems. http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/09/04/xslt.html?page=2 I'll have to think on your example, but I know that you can't use the XML Catalog to do what you want. The namespace would be identified twice, and you can't have duplicate entries, as the key is the namespace name.
